Multilanguage Forum and url rewrite

[ekantnl]

Hi there.. I have looked into this forum but was not sure if I understand everything.

The case: I have an forum in English language.

I will add more forums later for visitors with other languages, like Greek, Romanian etc.

Of course I want the urls to be rewritten in those languages.

Is that possible with vbseo?

What settings in vbseo control panel do I have to check?
And which settings from them do I need to activate/disactivate/choose?

Are there any other things that I have to keep in mind?

Thank you for any help with this

Hello,

there is a special setting in vBSEO CP to handle that: "Replace Non-English Characters in URLs?".
Additionally, you can define custom character replacements: replace non english characters

Okay thank you for the reply. I checked the thread you gave me (and others as well) but unfortunately I still dont get it.


For example: I have a german word in a title: für
in the url this "für" becomes 'fuer' but I want that to be 'fur'


My config_vbseo.php is UTF-8 encoded, for in case that's important.


The setting "Replace Non-English Characters in URLs?" is set to:
"Replace Non-English Characters in URLs"


The config_vbseo.php custom character replacement look like this:

// ****** CUSTOM CHARACTER REPLACEMENTS ******
// The following array enables you to select a replacement for characters other than the ones replaced
// by default.
$vbseo_custom_char_replacement = array(
'Č' => 'c',
'č' => 'c',
'Ğ' => 'g',
'ğ' => 'g',
'Ş' => 's',
'ş' => 's',
'İ' => 'i',
'ı' => 'i',
'Ç' => 'c',
'ç' => 'c',
'Ü' => 'u',
'ü' => 'u',
'ü' => 'u',
'Ö' => 'o',
'ö' => 'o',
'ı' => 'i',
'İ' => 'i',
'é' => 'i',
'â' => 'a',
'Ê' => 'e',
'Â' => 'a',
'ê' => 'e');


Can someone explain me step by step what I should do to change this "fuer" to "fur" in the URL???


I understand it is not the most exciting task to explain me, but I want to have a good understanding from the beginning, as my board will be in Greek, Romanian etc as well. So I really would like to understand what I have to do (so I dont have to ask here all the time )

Thank you for any help!

Ok I understand. It's a hard nut to crack or not possible. Uninstalled on this forum.
